He will absolutely do this and the kicker is it's even dumber than what Trump said after he got it and what Trump said was pretty loving dumb. Trump also went "see it's not that bad it's just the flu and you'll be fine if you're a real man like me" but he went on to say it was because we have all these great treatments like monoclonals and remdesivir that most of you can't afford so just get infected it's no big deal and now he's saying "yeah get vaccinated I got the shot, it works, I'm fine, if it were bad I would tell you"

We don't need vaccines we just need to sleep 8 hours a night and drink lots of water to keep the immune system healthy!" The one sliver of light I can imagine is that he tries to tough it out at home because he's such a big strong man and he only gets actual medical treatment once it's too late. He's exactly the kind of guy who will just ignore it until he starts passing out from low oxygen levels and then just take every pill and paste that he ordered from his online pharmacist.

Rogan is ambiguous about what his actual political beliefs are, purposely I think. He has a never ending train of alt-right losers on his show, but he’s careful not to be too clear about what he actually believes for plausible deniability.

Dude they've been doing that since Herman Cain died, and it went into overdrive when practically the entire administration got infected at ACB's Rose Garden reception. "Viruses don't know about political parties so why is it mostly Republicans getting it at their crowded unmasked parties, biowarfare attacks by liberal infiltrators?" It's great because you'd think that would be reason to be even more careful if you thought your receptions were targets for biowarfare attacks but nope apparently it's just an excuse to keep ignoring the need for any precautions at all. My maskless superspreader rallies would be just fine if liberals would stop sneaking in to spray covid on us!

I've been paying less attention to this poo poo lately and cut off my FB for the sake of my own mental health. So....liberals are spraying Covid on people (which is a hoax and no big deal) to kill people that refuse vaccinations that have microchips in them and every place that sees a spike in infections are places that refuse the Free vaccination and people eat bleach and horse worm medicine instead. What's the plan and the end game here, exactly? I mean I can't say I'm exactly crushed that assholes in Mississippi and Arkansas who want me to die of AIDS for being bisexual and not of Christ are dying from a virus that has a shot you can get for free or that's fought in part by something as trivial as wearing a mask on your dumb face that stomps on your freedoms but...is it a hoax, a bio weapon from China, no big deal or...? UH...Pick something. Have they forgotten that Trump "fast tracked" the vaccine and took credit for it? May have been one of the few things he possibly did right and only just recently encouraged people to take? Oh yeah. The one time they booed him.

I can’t believe Mallard Fillmore actually ran in actual newspapers. Pretty sure neither my hometown paper growing up, or the Star Tribune ever ran it, because, er, actual standards and poo poo. It’s been running for 27 years, and it kept going after the original guy got 2 DUIs in 2006 and attacked the judge who sentenced him for them in the strip.

The only way for you to survive the upcoming massive die-offs are to buy ivermectin, Brain Force and Tactical Baths. Sure, your average Republican might not believe that exact narrative... But they'll find other, less-stupid-on-their-faces ways to shift the blame and excuse the people eating horse dewormer as a prophylactic. There isn't really an endgame per se, at least from their end, it's just them trying to shift blame away from themselves and further demonize the evil leftist sheeple who have been secretly evil and stupid all along.

VitalSigns posted:you're fine it's just funny Yeah, thanks and I get it and I know. There IS no logic. Thing is, at least where I live, the crazy and and angry dials seem to be noticeably getting turned to high lately. When I say it's in the air and absolutely palpable, I mean it. And I live in an area that's only kinda sorta batshit and is known for being laid back but it's getting noticeably worse and everyone has an attitude and/or is broke. And broken. Used to be just kinda Jimmy Buffet AquaNeck types but just over the last year, it's taken a hard turn towards Charlie Daniels poo poo. Our schools are in a shambles already with COVID. Like I said, I can't even ponder reports on the ground from Really DEEP RED STATES. Texas just made it legal to open carry firearms without a permit of any sort and passed that abortion law. Things feel like they're approaching critical mass and Joe Biden is certainly not gonna lead us out of anything, let alone my shithead governor, DeSantis. Lotta Jesus-ish poo poo, guns and guns and guns and Jesus and ammo and guns and Jesus and more guns rhetoric flying around here in my quiet little beach fishing town and folks are getting weird about it. Most people are dealing with it by flying more and more and bigger US flags. Tick tock tick tock.

The only way for you to survive the upcoming massive die-offs are to buy ivermectin, Brain Force and Tactical Baths. I love this one, because if the vaccine is a Prisoners' Dilemma where getting it is not dangerous to you but royally fucks everyone around you, then according to their selfish FYGM ideology they should be stampeding to be first in line to get it so they can cough spike protein all over the poor saps who got there after them. I guess that's why they have to also add in the part about the time bomb chemical that kills you in 5 years so their audience doesn't hear "the vaccine only kills the unvaccinated" and run out and get it instead of buying Infowars Soy-Based Immune Boosters. It would be funny if they started masking up and staying home to protect themselves from spike protein shedders, because that would also be the sensible thing to do if they really believe in killer spike proteins floating around everywhere, but I know they won't because they've decided masks and social distancing are fake and gay and for sheep. Are they selling a pill or a leaf or a crystal that neutralizes spike protein yet.

I keep hearing people saying "Well actually it's the fault of vaccinated people that there's a delta variant, because so many people having the vaccine means the virus has more chances to adapt to it and mutate." I'm not a biologist or a virologist, but I want to make sure I'm not going to say something incorrect if I respond to one of these people. From what I understand, viruses reproduce by infecting a cell and forcing that cell to make copies of itself. In people that are vaccinated, the virus would be taken out fairly quickly and wouldn't get much of a chance to adapt or mutate. Because (if I'm remembering right) the way viruses mutate is when the cell is copying the virus that infected it, sometimes the copying is imperfect and that imperfect copy might go on to thrive and now you have a variant. Is all this correct? I know that people that are vaccinated/naturally immune to something could possibly cause a variant, but the odds are probably pretty low, yes?

Hollandia posted:Someone post his interview with the ex-CIA guy who kept telling him he was a credulous rube who agrees too much and Rogan... agreed with him. The only full interview of his I've ever watched was one from like 15 years ago when he was just starting out and nobody knew or cared about him. He was interviewing Les Stourd, aka the "Survivorman" from the Discovery Channel--the Canadian discount Bear Grills. And Stroud talked about an incident he had in the wilderness where he allegedly encountered something he believed to be a sasquatch. The longer the interview goes on, the more it's clear that Stroud is just bullshitting him and talking out of his rear end, but he's such a good storyteller that Rogan is absolutely captivated by this clearly either false or misconstrued incident that Stroud is leading him through secondhand and it just became a feedback loop between the two of them until Rogan's peabrain breaks the warp barrier and he just starts going "Wooooah, duuuuuuude, you're blowing my miiiiiiiiind". That fact that this dipshit with a room temperature IQ is considered a major thought leader among an entire generation of people on this planet is terrifying and an another bullet point on our rapidly approaching epitaph as species. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Sep 3, 2021 |

EDIT: To clarify, Trump did worse than just the bare minimum and downplayed the threat constantly, used it to stoke racism, and also encouraged people to inject poison - although since that was aimed at his own supporters, that's arguably a positive since I'm all for dead fascists. I have little to no doubt that if Trump was president now, we'd be doing even worse. But yeah. As it stands, the bare minimum would be a step up from where we are right now.
